These meatballs are light, tender and juicy. They're simple but also easy to make, which is a win win in my book. -
These are excellent! I have two recipes that I use for meatballs - this one for Italian style and the Pioneer Woman's for regular style. My husband LOVES these, especially on a hoagie with sauce and melted cheese. -
good meatballs, easy to make, great to freeze; Needs more seasoning, next time I'll use fresh minced garlic -
I'm not an excellent cook by any means but this recipe was easy to follow and turned out fantastic.The meatballs were very tasty especially after I melted some mozz. on them. Very pleased!

These are very moist and don't fall apart as easily as other recipes I have tried, very good! I used a mixture of ground veal, beef, and pork (it all came together in one package especially for meatballs or meatloaf) so maybe that has something to do with it, but either way this is a keeper! Thanks

Great meatballs. We used them in marinara over spaghetti. I used fresh breadcrumbs, basil and oregano instead of italian seasoning and onion powder instead of flakes. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.
